Great frame and incredible texture.

What a happy accident! And I just LOVE the way you used the papers and brushes. The gold artstroke is perfect, and I like the title in red to go with the woman's shirt.

Adorable! Love how you added a little humor to the usual Christmas Cookie Photo! I like your art strokes and stitching.

Oh boy does THIS bring back memories of my munchkins in the church pageant...with at least one of them cutting up! Very nice texture, blending, and placement of the title.

Gorgeous. Love the Waterlogue treatment an the pops of yellow.

Gorgeous take on the challenge. Love that wood BG.

Very special photos. We have 3 major family birthdays in December including Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, so I know the challenges! Love the deer dressed in pink. ;)

Love the music and the birds. Wonderful balance.

I love the old fashioned Santa (he looks like an illustration in a book I had as a child). Sweet little boy.

Such a beautiful, classic Christmas photo. Nice layers/clusters, and placement of journaling.

What a great scene. Love the glitz.

Too elegant for words. Love the softly blended background, the smaller sharp photo, and of course, most important, the verse.

LOVE the rich golden glow you have achieved. Great use of the White Christmas kit. I think I'm sold!

OH! Who doesn't love snow globes?! This is so cute! I am so fascinated by miniatures. Wonderful job.

Merci, Fanno! I am glad to be able to Google a translation of your comments! (For other non-French-speakers, what this translates to is: A pretty little ornament that connects the past to the present. Beautiful story that of this little ornament.)

That tree alone may be worth the price of the kit! Gorgeous!

OMGoodness...that ELEPHANT! Adorable.
